INTRODUCTION
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) which belongs to the
family Poaceae, is the worlds most widely cultivated
cereal crop. In India, wheat is the second most
important cereal crop next to rice contributing nearly
35 per cent to the national food basket and plays an
important role in food and nutritional security. It finds
a major place in both time meals of common
population in major wheat growing states. The
cultivation of wheat has also been symbolic of green
revolution, self-sufficiency in food and sustained
production. As a result of technological innovation,
the country is 107.59 million tones in an area of 31.45
million hectares (2019-20 Estimated data). India
ranks second among wheat producing country in the
world. This phenomenal increase in production is by
and large attributed to adoption of high yielding
varieties.
The contribution of wheat is maximum as a result of
its wild adaptability occupying nontraditional rice
growing area in eastern India as well as late sown and
problematic areas about from the amenability to
technological innovation. Wheat maintains
superiority. in area, production and versatility in
adopting a wide range of agro climates. It occupies
prime position for the nutrition of nearly 36 per cent
of the world population. Nevertheless, the progress
should not make us contented as the country face
countless challenges in the form of population growth
coupled with decreasing arable land, depleting water
resources and climate change. As population is
increasing leads to an increase demand of wheat with
no possibility in further increase in area due to
growing urbanization. As per present population
growth rate population of India by 2025 will be

around 1.3 billion and assuming 20 percent more per
capita requirement of food grain, due to better
standard of living and increase in the demand of
processing industries, requires wheat production to be
around 109 million tonnes by the year 2025 AD.
Wheat is mainly used as house hold cereal.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The present investigation entitled "Performance of
the various varieties on growth and yield of wheat
crop (Triticum aestivum L.)". Trial was performed
in session 2019-20 with one year of trial which were
done at Pili-Kothi Student Research Farm, and also in
the laboratory Department of Agronomy of T.D.P.G.
College Jaunpur. The experimental site is situated on
the right side of river Gomati at the latitude 25 43'58"
N & longitude 8241'10"E and at an altitude of 83
meters. Plots of homogeneous fertility were selected
from the field and well connected, keeping in view
with irrigation channel and with the source of
irrigation. Pili Kothi Farm is situated in Jaunpur the
eastern part of Uttar Pradesh with sub tropical climate
being often subjected to extremes of weather
conditions, i.e., heat of the summer and cold of the
winter. May and June months are the hottest months
with mean maximum temperature ranging from 36 to
43.8°C. However, the coldest month is January with
the average temperature varying from 4,7-10.5°C
with occasional extreme the normal period for the
onset of monsoon in this reason is the third week of
June which lasts up to the end of the September the
area occasionally experience cyclonic ranges during
winter months the normal annual rain fall is 1100
mm. out which about 64.0 % is received for June to
September 0,07% from October to December, 6%
from the January to February and 9.3% from March
to May as pre monsoon ranges. The mean relative
humidity of the area is about 68% with maximum of
81% during July to September and minimum of 38%
during April to early July respectively.
The experiment was conduct out in Randomized
Complete Block Design Gross Plot size of 4.0 x 4.0 m
and 20.0 cm was sown row spacing .Crop was sown
at recommended seed rate of 125 kg ha-1.Five
irrigation applied was during crop period. Nitrogen
was applied @100kg through Urea, Phosphorus was
applied @40kg as SSP and Potash given by MOP. All
other cultural practice were applied to need.

DISCUSSION
Wheat crop sown on 22 December recorded with
higher plant height, PBW-373. percent higher dry [3]
matter accumulation by crop at 30, 60, 90, and At
harvest DAS and at maturity respectively compared
to that sown on 22 December.
Enhanced plant height due to sowing on 22 December
as higher variety PBW-373 compared to all different [4]
varieties.
Wheat variety PBW-373 recording with higher total
tillers compared to other varieties. tillers at maturity
compare to mean total tillers of PBW-502, Sai
kedarplus, PBW-752, ML5660, HUW-234, Anuradha [5]
and SGN-303 also recorded increased dry matter
accumulation compared to the other different
varieties. Leaf area index of PBW-373 at 30 DAS was
significantly superior over HUW-234, Anuradha,
Saikedarplus, ML-5660, PBW-752, PBW-502, SGN-
303 and All varieties but the varieties SGN-303 less [6]
were at par with each other among All varieties Leaf
area index at 60 DAS and 90 DAS exhibits similar
trend as it was in case of 30 DAS.
CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of results obtained the following [7]
conclusion can be drawn late sown wheat (22
December) give 53. 35q/ha higher yield.
The ratio various varieties Among wheat varieties,
PBW-373 was found to be more suitable growth and
yield of wheat crop late sown condition in agro [8]
climatic condition. PBW-373 varieties was recorded
maximum grain yield over SGN-303 and various
varieties of wheat crop. PBW-373 varieties was
recorded for the better grain and straw ratio which
was followed by SGN-303.
